Here are some funny conversations I’ve had with Maximus lately.
M: Mommy, I want to go home. I’m tired.
Me: I’m tired too. I might close my eyes for a while.
M: Why?
Me: Because I’m tired.
M: Then go for it.
Me: Why don’t you use that baby bandaid?
M: Why?
Me: Because you have a small owie.
M: I don’t need a baby bandaid because I don’t have a baby foot.
Me: No, it’s not for a baby it’s for when you need a small bandaid.
Me: No it’s not.
(So I put an adult sized bandaid on his big toe and then he walked through the house stiff legged.)
M: Hey mom, can you build with me?
Me: Maximus, is that my name?
M: Yes.
Me: I kind of like it better when you call me mommy.
M: Well I’m bigger now so I call you mom and dad.
Me: Ok, but it still kind of makes me sad.
M: Why?
Me: Because I like when you call me mommy.
M: Ok mom.
M: Hey mom, do you have any money?
Me: No. I don’t have any money.
M: Well can you go to that money machine and get some?
Me: Can I go to the money machine and get money? No I can’t.
M: Yes you can. Just turn there and go to the money machine.
Me: We don’t have time.
M: Yesss you do. Go get some.
Don’t you just love convos with the little ones. You NEVER know what is going to come out of their mouths. The ATM one reminds me of a convo I had with my mom when I was little. I wanted something, she didn’t have the money so I said “You don’t need money, just write a check!”
Haha, children do seem to have it all figured out! I love watching his little face as he works something out in his head. Little engineer in the making! 😉
